No British M260 variants have been lost in spinning accidents. There was an early model T67 that was spun on a training sortie and both instructor and student escaped safely. An accident report was written and published at the time.

In the USA Edwards AFB Test Pilots span the T67M260 regularly with no recovery difficulties - they even tested inverted spinning which is not permissable in UK.
